What Are Biometrics Security Settings on Android?
Biometric security settings on Android use unique physical features—like fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scanning—to authenticate access to your device. These settings add an extra layer of security, making it faster and safer to unlock your phone and access apps.
Why Enable Biometrics Security?
Biometric security ensures:
- Faster and more convenient device access.
- Protection against unauthorized access.
- Enhanced safety for sensitive apps and data like banking or personal photos.
Unlike passwords or PINs, biometrics are nearly impossible to replicate, making your device more secure.
